The dissemination of scientific culture is what Aix Marseille University is all about. The Scientific Culture Unit (CSC) of the Research Department organises events all year round aimed at spreading the word about scientific culture in and out of the University.
Find out about the program of events organised by AMU!
If you are a PhD student or researcher and would like to participate in or organise an event about your research topic, the CSC has published an online guide (in French).
To immerse yourself in AMU’s scientific culture, you will also find many online resources made by the research laboratories in the Science-o-thèque (in French).
N.B. You can make the most out of scientific culture not only at AMU, but also across the whole country. To find out more, visit Echo Sciences (in French).
